Overview
Set in a fantasy world inhabited by people with golden eyeballs, Por Puzhukkal (War Worms) follows two woodcutters who discover a luminous, valuable orb hidden inside a tree. What begins as an extraordinary discovery soon sets them on a perilous journey, as the orb becomes the center of their desires and choices.
